seventeen dayz of phrase
january seven, two thousand and ten
in two days i'm gonna be homesick as a hound dog who ain't ever caught a rabbit and who ain't no friend of mine. Caught between 'wide awake and it's morning' and 'it is well with my soul.'. Saying a salvation prayer at 4:30 in the am in a rental car north bound with all those red lights coming in thru my red eyes under the california twilight. I gave god my heart, again and felt a pulse of hope in an atropheed faith. .. one that needs exercise. He'll be there with augustella when she cries out hysterically in the middle of the night and with Eden as she scans the room for a familiar face to smile back at. He'll give Jenna wit and audacity as she steers the mother ship...he'll bring her venti no water chai latte's in the morning to replentish and recharge. I put it all in a bag with a red, white and blue parachute and then jumped out of a plane at 10000 feet. I'm not sure what happens when I pull the chord....but it's time to grow up and start believing in the things I believe in.
